I took him into the parlour because the couch was handy, but directly he spoke I saw he was a gentleman at least an educated man, but his clothes are threadbare. He has parted with his waistcoat for food. Now you know why I brought you in here, to save you a shock." "But, Marcus, what are we to do with him?" "Ah, that is what puzzles me.
A year older than me. Oh, ought I to have said 'than I'? That always puzzles me." "You have Milton on your side. He wrote: Satan than whom no higher sat. Still, it is generally allowed that Milton wrote bad grammar there." Cynthia was awed momentarily a quotation from "Paradise Lost" always commands respect so she harked back to an easier topic. "Is your sister married?" "Yes."
Besides, they would be monstrously shocked at our ways. They would think us marvellously ill-bred. While we! I dare scarcely harbour the thought, much less express it. There are other puzzles about the Past, far more intimate in nature and less grandiose, but, on the whole, far less easy to answer.
"Oh, did it?" replied Rinkitink, and stepping forward he walked right through the golden net, which fell to the floor in a tangled mass. Kaliko rubbed his chin thoughtfully and stared hard at Rinkitink. "I understand a good bit of magic," said he, "but Your Majesty has a sort of magic that greatly puzzles me, because it is unlike anything of the sort that I ever met with before."
Truly, the church was a great institution the solution of all the puzzles and problems of life. And fortunate was Samuel to be so close to the inner life of things! Then suddenly, on a street corner, he stopped short. A sign had caught his eye-"John Callahan, Wines and Liquors Bernheimer Beer." "Do you know what that place is?" he said to Sophie.

"That will come in my story later on. But what puzzles me is where that handsome cripple comes in. The mystery deepens." By this time Fenwick's protestations had grown weaker. He seemed to ramble on in a mixture of English and Portuguese which was exceedingly puzzling to the head waiter, who still was utterly in the dark as to the cause of offence.
"You make me feel more comfortable, Tom," said Mary. "But, even supposing all this, why couldn't they telephone to us that my father was all right? He always carries an identification card with him, and if he were unconscious it could be ascertained who he was." "That's what I can't understand," said Tom frankly. "It puzzles me. But we'll find him never fear!"
Annie-Many-Ponies did not understand why all this stealthiness should be necessary, for she knew that proof of her honorable marriage would end Luck's pursuit supposing he did pursue even though his anger might live always for her. She did not understand; and when an Indian confronts a situation which puzzles him, you may be very sure that same Indian is going to be very, very cautious.
Otherwise, he'd be found out pretty quick. And all that puzzles me is how was it administered?" "How much would kill anybody pretty quick?" asked Mitchington. "How much? One drop would cause instantaneous death!" answered Bryce. "Cause paralysis of the heart, there and then, instantly!" Mitchington remained silent awhile, looking meditatively at Bryce.
It puzzles you to think, what an avalanche of talent will fall upon the country at the graduation of those Seniors! You will find however that the country bears such inundations of college talent with a remarkable degree of equanimity. It is quite wonderful how all the Burkes, and Scotts, and Peels, among college Seniors, do quietly disappear, as a man gets on in life.
